Unidentified assailants kill Palestinian intelligence officer

By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent

Unidentified assailants shot to death a member of the Palestinian military intelligence in the Gaza Strip town of Dir al-Balah early Friday morning, Palestinian news agencies reported.

The Palestinian military intelligence wing is linked to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah party.

According to reports, another intelligence officer was seriously wounded in the shooting.

Witnesses reported that the incident occurred after militants stopped the vehicle carrying the intelligence officer, Hussein a-Salahi, and asked him and two other passengers to exit the car. They proceeded to shoot two of the men in the head, killing Salahi and wounding another man.

It is not yet clear what motivated this murder. In recent days, before Thursday's announcement on the formation of a national unity government as well as after it, several violent clashes between rival parties Fatah and Hamas took place in different areas of the Gaza Strip.
